Trade Strategy 11.30.16

Markets

Hope is growing for a pact to cut crude output as OPEC oil ministers voice optimism at their all-important meeting in Vienna. Despite some conflicting statements, representatives of Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the OPEC Secretary-General are assuming the group will reach a deal by this afternoon, when members spell out what they have agreed to in terms of supply levels. Oil related stocks are doing well in the session as the price of crude jumps around 6-7% to over $48 per barrel.

Today is Cycle Day 3 (CD3)…Bulls continue to have the edge with an opportunity to expand price higher if they can convert 2110 to upper support. Price has been consolidating with a 10 handle zone, so potential on breakout measures 2218 – 2224.50 Cycle Targets.

Trade Strategy: Our tactical trade strategy will simply remain unaltered…We’ll be flexible to trade both long and short side from Decision Pivot Levels. Continue to focus on Bull/Bear Stackers and Premium/Discounts. As always, remaining in alignment with dominant intra-day force increases probabilities of producing winning trades.

Stay Focused…Non-Biased…Disciplined ALWAYS USE STOPS!

Good Trading…David

Trade Strategy 11.29.16

Markets

Oil prices are giving up some of Monday’s gains ahead of the official start of the latest OPEC meeting in Vienna tomorrow. Things are looking increasingly shaky following reports that OPEC’s technical experts failed to bridge their differences and Russia confirmed it would not attend the gathering. The group is aiming to agree on its first crude output deal since 2008, however, details of a potential accord remain unclear.

Bulls continue to hold control, even though Market On Close (MOC) Sell Imbalance topped $1.4B in prior session. Price is holding above CD1 Low (2198.25), which is marked now as Key Cycle Support.

Today is Cycle Day 2 (CD2)…Possible for retest of 2198.25 for validation of “secure low”…Pivot structure remains in bullish configuration…It would take a sustained price move below 2190 – 2192 zone to effectuate a shift.

**Note: The odds highlighted are NOT predictions or trade recommendations, rather a guide based upon historical observed occurrences.

Today’s Hypotheses: December (Z) Contract

*****The levels outlined below are more general framework within a larger range…They are to be used are reference prices from which to consider trade opportunities, not hard trade levels.

Scenario 1: IF price holds above CD1 Low (2198.25), THEN initial objective is to convert 2206 to upper support. Secondary objective would be to clear and convert PH (2209.5) which would open door to expand to higher target zone between 2216 – 2218.50

Trade Strategy: Our tactical trade strategy will simply remain unaltered…We’ll be flexible to trade both long and short side from Decision Pivot Levels. Continue to focus on Bull/Bear Stackers and Premium/Discounts. As always, remaining in alignment with dominant intra-day force increases probabilities of producing winning trades.

Trade Strategy 11.28.16

Markets

Oil prices are bouncing around the $46 level as traders bet on whether OPEC will slash output at its closely watched meeting on Wednesday. While Libya has announced it won’t take part in any OPEC cuts and Saudi Arabia hinted that the oil market would rebalance itself, some still feel the group will be able to rein in global oversupply. Venezuela’s oil minister will also meet his Algerian counterpart later today before the two meet with Russia to seek support for a production cut.

Bulls continue to march price higher as lack of sellers (thin to win) dominate the trading landscape. The 10 day average true range has contracted to 11.30 handles. This favors the bulls, but the warning sign here is that expansion follows contraction…We just do not know when…So continue to play the very best patterns and signals.

Today is Cycle Day 1 (CD1)…First sign of change in sentiment will be when the 3 Day Central Pivot Zone which is currently in bullish formation shifts to bearish. We will then be able to safely play short-side setups.

Scenario 2: Sign of Weakness (SOW) would be violation and conversion of 2203.50 to lower resistance. IF this occurs THEN primary target is 2194.50 which is CD1 Average Decline.

Trade Strategy: Our tactical trade strategy will simply remain unaltered…We’ll be flexible to trade both long and short side from Decision Pivot Levels. Continue to focus on Bull/Bear Stackers and Premium/Discounts. As always, remaining in alignment with dominant intra-day force increases probabilities of producing winning trades.

Trade Strategy 11.23.16

Markets

The four major U.S. stock market benchmarks closed at all-time highs again on Tuesday, with the Dow ending above 19,000 and the S&P 500 finishing above 2,200 for the first time, and the Nasdaq and Russell 2000 posing new record closes. Futures markets suggest U.S. equities will stabilize today, as oil steadies after an impressive run. Investors are also looking toward U.S. reports on jobless claims, durable goods and consumer confidence.

Minutes of the last Fed meeting may keep a few traders at their desks until mid-afternoon before they bolt for the Thanksgiving holiday. But the release should be anticlimactic after recent comments from Fed officials, who are pointing to a rate increase next month at every opportunity. Fed funds futures currently show the odds of a December rate hike at 100%.

OPEC will debate an oil output cut of between 4%-4.5% at its meeting in Vienna next week, according to Reuters. The deal wouldn’t include Libya or Nigeria, but it’s understood that Iraq and Iran have reservations with Iraq’s foreign minister, who said on Tuesday that OPEC should allow the country to continue raising output without restrictions. If a cut were to be made, OPEC’s current output would reduce by more than 1.2M barrels per day.

Early profit-taking lead to renewed buying off the 2192.00 intra-day support level as prices reached 3 Day Cycle Rally Target (2203.00) This has been a powerful rally across all sectors and capping off this rally at Cycle Target in fitting style.

Today is Cycle Day 1 (CD1)…Normal is for some type decline…Trading is expected to be very light pre-holiday, so be careful not to over-commit to positions. Uptrend is solidly intact with continued upside potential targeting 2212 – 2216 zone. It would take a shift below 2180 handle to change current bullish sentiment.

Continue to focus on Bull/Bear Stackers and Premium/Discounts. As always, remaining in alignment with dominant intra-day force increases probabilities of producing winning trades.

World stocks are riding the slipstream of the first joint all-time high for Wall Street’s four main markets since 1999, with the Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite and Russell 2000 all hitting new records. “You’ve seen at the beginning of the year that oil can have a very profound effect on equity markets,” said Jeroen Blokland, a senior portfolio manager at Robeco. “Rising commodity prices do help. But I think there is also a bit of an upbeat mood about the Trump election.”

Markets continued on their bullish march reaching new all-time highs across indexes. Price targets outlined in DTS Briefing 11.21.16 have been achieved, as 3 Day Cycle Target (2203) was reached in overnight trade.

Today is Cycle Day 3 (CD3)…Cycle Targets have been achieved, so as such, momentum can continue unabated should the bulls continue pressing higher. The filp-side would be normal for existing longs to take some profits heading into long holiday shortened week. Key Support now is marked between 2176 – 2186 10 handle zone.

Trade Strategy 11.21.16

Markets

OPEC’s technical committee will meet in Vienna today to discuss the implementation of the Algiers oil-supply pact, finalized on Sept. 28, which would end a two-year policy of pumping without limits. The gathering comes as Iran and Iraq signal optimism for a deal and Russia sees few hurdles to oil producers reaching an agreement on supply levels. A formal OPEC meeting will take place on Nov. 30.

S&P e-mini (ES) produced only a shallow decline on Cycle Day 1 (CD1) and held firm bid throughout prior session. Overnight trade action is relatively quiet as price continues to hold above rising trend structure.

Today is Cycle Day 2 (CD2)…Expectation today is for some back n fill trade with upside trend bias. As holiday week is upon us, “thin to win” will be name of game as bears are unable to mount any counter attack. Price is very near to making new contract highs, so anything goes for the shortened holiday trading week.

Scenario 2: Sign of Weakness (SOW) would be converting CD1 Low (2165.50) to lower resistance. IF this occurs, THEN downside to 2170 – 2168 zone, followed by 2165 – 2163 range projections.

Trade Strategy: Our tactical trade strategy will simply remain unaltered…We’ll be flexible to trade both long and short side from Decision Pivot Levels. Continue to focus on Bull/Bear Stackers and Premium/Discounts. As always, remaining in alignment with dominant intra-day force increases probabilities of producing winning trades.

Fedspeak will continue today with speeches from James Bullard, Esther George, William Dudley, Robert Kaplan, Charles Evans and Jerome Powell. Yesterday, Janet Yellen’s congressional testimony took the spotlight. The Fed Chair signaled a December move, suggesting a rate hike could come “relatively soon,” and downplayed rumors that a Trump administration could push her out of her job early.

Price continued to hold key support in prior session as bulls muscled price higher reaching 3 Day Cycle Target between 2185 – 2186. Momentum could take price to new contract highs today following Dow Jones earlier this week.

Today is Cycle Day 1 (CD1)…Bullish momentum is intact, so any decline may be shallow…It would take a reversal down through 2160 70 zone to mark the beginning of a more meaningful decline. Current expectation is for continued strength and new contract highs. Three-Day Average True Range (12.25) has been contracting, which favors bulls.

Scenario 2: Violation and conversion of 2172 – 74 zone to lower resistance would be first sign of weakness. Lower targets measure 2168 down to 2162 – 58 zone.

Trade Strategy: Our tactical trade strategy will simply remain unaltered…We’ll be flexible to trade both long and short side from Decision Pivot Levels. Continue to focus on Bull/Bear Stackers and Premium/Discounts. As always, remaining in alignment with dominant intra-day force increases probabilities of producing winning trades.

Fed chair Janet Yellen is due to appear before the Joint Economics Committee in Washington, where she’s likely to be quizzed on how tax cuts or fiscal stimulus under Trump could affect the economic and interest rate outlook. Don’t expect a clear answer. Almost every Fed official who spoke publicly so far this week has been asked those questions, but said they’re unsure because it’s not yet obvious which policies will be pursued and enacted.

Today is Cycle Day 3 (CD3)…There remains room to expand higher as overall bias favors bullish camp. Sector Rotation is the main theme for Mutual Funds, so as such, volatility in the ES e-mini has been subdued. In contrast, volatility in the NQ (naz) has been elevated as investors are re-positioning away from key index components into other sectors.

Scenario 2: Sign of Weakness would be converting 2168 to resistance…IF this occurs, THEN downside rest of CD1 Low (2158.50) would likely unfold.

Trade Strategy: Our tactical trade strategy will simply remain unaltered…We’ll be flexible to trade both long and short side from Decision Pivot Levels. Continue to focus on Bull/Bear Stackers and Premium/Discounts. As always, remaining in alignment with dominant intra-day force increases probabilities of producing winning trades.

Oil rose around 6% yesterday, its best one day performance since April, on renewed hopes of an OPEC deal to cut production. But prices are now dipping lower after the IEA left its supply and demand forecasts unchanged despite the 2015 Paris Climate Change Agreement entering into force. “The difficulty of finding alternatives to oil in road freight, aviation and petrochemicals means that, up to 2040, the growth in these three sectors alone is greater than the growth in global oil demand,” the IEA said in its annual World Energy Outlook.

Shallow decline on CD1 and a strong hold of key 2162 handle which we outlined in prior DTS Briefing 11.15.16 lead to late day rally which hit upside target of 2184 handle.

Today is Cycle Day 2 (CD2)…Price has effectively hit 3 Day Cycle Target of 2183 – 84 zone, as such, we will mark this zone as KEY RESISTANCE for today’s session.

Price will need to convert this zone for continued expansion, targeting 2188 – 2194 extreme zone. Expectation for today will be for some “back n fill” back into prior day’s range with 2162 handle marked as KEY SUPPORT. The breakpoint zone of 2168 – 70 will be first test of bulls sustainability.

Trade Strategy: Our tactical trade strategy will simply remain unaltered…We’ll be flexible to trade both long and short side from Decision Pivot Levels. Continue to focus on Bull/Bear Stackers and Premium/Discounts. As always, remaining in alignment with dominant intra-day force increases probabilities of producing winning trades.

Trade Strategy 11.15.16

Markets

U.S. stock markets look set to open higher, with the Dow Jones continuing to push towards new all-time highs, as a Trump-fueled equity bounce appears ready to cement a year-end rally. While recent gains are largely being attributed to the market getting more comfortable with his style and proposed policies, year-end rallies are common in most election years, with the Dow gaining 1.8%, on average, from Election Day thru Dec. 31.

Today is Cycle Day 1 (CD1)…Normal is for a decline to unfold…Price has been oscillating within consolidation range between 2150 – 2180. As such, any decline would unfold within the context of this trading range. Key Statistical Extreme (STATX) zones: 2173.75 – 2176.25 (upper)…2151.50 – 2148.75 (lower)
